With the 2024-25 college basketball season underway, several Gonzaga University men’s and women’s basketball players are in the mix for prestigious honors. The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame released its positional award watchlists ahead of the season, with the Zags represented by four players — three men and one woman.
On the women’s side, Yvonne Ejim was the sole GU player named to a list. The fifth-year forward was named to the watchlist for the Katrina McClain Award, given to the best power forward.
Ejim tallied 17 points and 10 rebounds in Tuesday’s season-opening win over Montana, picking up where she left off after a dominant 2023-24 campaign.
